Here is the progress of this week. After I made a few materials in Substance Designer. I started making high poly of meshes . Then began to texture some of the models. Vertex material for the wall. Houdini assets I have made and going to use for the project. This assets places cables quickly around the scene. Cables around… -
Re: Speed up Max 2014 loading time
Yeah, what Monster said, only draw back to a SSD as far as i can tell, if you are considering buying one, is they fill up rather quickly. Mine is only 64gb and was fairly expensive at the time (not sure how much they fetch for now) Had to edit a lot of registry files to tell it not to save temp files there, still find a… -
Re: PAX East March 22nd, Boston
The Westin Hotel is connected to the convention center, and has a nice lobby. Starbucks, an Irish pub, etc. Drinks and eats are a little pricey (like, $8 for a ham sammich). But it's super convenient, and you're quickly out of the noise and into a cushy chair. http://www.westinbostonwaterfront.com/boston-restaurants I'll… -
Re: UDK Jungle Environment Techniques and Level WIP
There's a paint object tool in the graphite freeform tools. If you place the pivot of the object right at the point where the leaf/branch/etc. should connect to the later geometry, then you can use mentioned tool to quickly paint the objects onto the trunk/thicker branch/etc. Also, you can play a bit with the tool's… -
Re: CUDA, Opencl, or AMD? (GPU Question)
I vote for 32GB of ram and a 780GTX (non-TI). When working with a lot of high res textures and Maya, Unreal Engine, etc open you'll be surprised how quickly you can eat up 16GB. Nothing is worse than running out of ram and having to constantly manage what applications you have open. (well there are worse things but I'm… -
Re: Maya 2016 selection problem
Has anyone overcome this bug yet? Personally I really like the pre 2016.5 setup with the flexibility that allows me to both quickly click select single face, and marquee select multiple ones with center constraint. It's really a much fluid implementation. Even with the update patch, the problem still persist for me, Even… -
Re: 3D Character Animation Reel - Feedback - Student
Nice stuff! I think the dog run could use some work, it has a see-saw like motion which is common in rodents and not so much in a dogs gallop. When the guy throws the rock to distract the guard, he has a big reaction, I was expecting him to walk quickly or even run to investigate but he just casually and slowly walks down… -
Re: Mip Maps and Non Square Textures for DDS.
I'm no programmer. The code is gobbledegook to me. If you're forced to use square textures, then you can pack two rectangle textures into one square texture sheet. Then use a UVW Xform modifier to quickly scale and offset the objects' UVs to match the new UV layout (or use UVW Unwrap for a more visual method). Assuming… -
Re: id tech 6 - cool features?
It's an adequate word to describe a strong feeling - lengthy canned animation 'takedowns' will get old and repetitive quickly and have little place in a fast paced first person game. They only serve to steal control from the player and detract from the experience (worse, you also end up with either a couple of seconds of… -
Re: Community Rigs and Resources
Are you using Maya? If you want something similar to the UE4 vanilla rig you can just use it. Get your hands on the script that comes with UE4 and rig that character. Mixamo has a bunch of free characters. They have the HumanIK naming convention so you can rig it Maya/Motionbuilder very quickly. Another plus is that you…
